SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 3 dated November 1886-Appliea-tion filed May 27, 1886. Serial No. 203,397. (No model.)Patented in Canada May 27, 1886, No.2-l,162.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, AROHIBALD BRAKE, of the city of Toronto, in thecounty of York, in the Province of Ontaria, Canada, molder, haveinvented certain new and useful improvements in Pails, Tubs, &c., ofwhichthe following is a specification.

The object of the invention is to construct a light, strong, and durablepail or tub without hoops; and it consists, essentially, in making thebody of the pail or tub of light veneer, suitablyjointed, and providedwith a flanged bottom,preferably made ofheavy paper,joint'ed to thebottom of the body of the pail in a substantial manner, the body andbottom of the pail or tub beingpreferably saturated with suitablewater-proof composition, substantially as hereinafter more particularlyexplained.

Figure 1 represents a perspective view of a pail constructed in.accordance with my invention. Fig. 2 is a perspective detail of aportion of the veneer body, showing the form ofjoint employed. Fig. 3 isa perspective detail of the blank forming the body of the pail. Fig. atis a detail showing the inverted bottom of the pail.

, While I prefer to make the body of thepail or tub of a single piece ofthin veneer, the object of my invention will be secured were the saidbody made in several pieces, provided they were suitably jointedtogether.

In the drawings I show a pail having its body A made out of a singlepiece of thin veneer, the edges of the said piece of veneer, where thejoint is made, being made in the form of a tongue and-groove joint, aseries of rivets, a, extending down the seam being employed for thepurpose of tightening the seam and making it water-tight. 1

B is a handle secured to the body of the pail in the ordinary way, asshown.

0 is the bottom, preferably made of heavy paper, and having a flange, b,formed around it. This flange b is made to fit tightly the interior ofthe body A, its edge being flush with the bottom edge of the said body.

D is a Ushaped band, preferably of metal, and designed to grasp, asindicated, the bottom edge of the body A and the flange b of the bottom0. This band D is secured in position by a series of rivets, (Z, andextends around the body A, forming a watertight joint between the bodyand bottom.

The body A and bottom C are dipped into some suitable water-proofcomposition, so as to make them water-tight.

A pail or tub made in the manner described I requires no hoops, will bemuch lighter than the kind now used, will be cheaper to make, and verymuch more durable.

The top edge of the body A is preferably protected by means of aU-shaped band, E, pressed onto the said edge so as to securely lit thesame.

What I claim as my invention is- 1. A vessel having a body, A, made ofthin veneer connected together by a tongue-andgroove joint secured bythe rivets a, in combination with a bottom, 0, having a flange, I),designed to fit the body A, and secured thereto by means of the band Dand rivets d, substantially as and for the purpose specified,

2. A vessel having a body, A, made of thin veneer connected together bya tongue-andgroove joint secured by the rivets a, in combination with abottom, 0, having a flange, I), designed to fit the body A, and seen redthereto by means of the band D and rivets d, and the band E, fitted uponthe top edge of the body A, substantially as and for the purposespecified.
